hotels now running would still have all the
business they could handle. The location
OF the new hotel il we'll chosen. 1t is
situated sufficiently close to the business
center, convenient to the Postoffice, Court
House, Opera House, banks and all the
leading business houses. Its effect will be
to make Granite q first-class business
street, and to quadruple the value OF all
property on Granite from Arizona to Mon
Jana street. Besides the Granite and Main

built in Butte next spring and from THAT
time forward. Every real estate man IN
the city knows that next year viii see a
building boom in Butte that will dwarf oil
former efforts. This has como to light
since The MINER began to call attention to
the great prosperity that will be forced on
